Johnny Lee: “I Just Have to Say What A Fricken A**hole Travis Tritt is…” (UPDATE ON THE UPDATED UPDATE)

WOW…I love that Johnny Lee says what he means and SHAME SHAME SHAME on Travis Tritt IF ANY part of this is true. I know there are two sides to every story, but here is Johnny’s:

Via Johnny Lee’s Facebook Page

WOW.

Travis is denying this happened when asked about the situation on his Facebook page.

“How sad that people want to tear others down. My management team is currently investigating where the rumor started and get names and contact info from those that seem to have what they believe is a eye witnesses / written account. We take rumors / things like this very serious. Thank you again.”

UPDATE…more from Johnny Lee’s Facebook:

“I’m still pretty fired up about this situation; my heart truly goes out to this little boy. If anyone knows who this little guy is, PLEASE send me a private Facebook message so I can call and send him something special. THANK YOU so all my AWESOME fans who truly I LOVE!!!!!!!”

He goes on to say:

“…YES this is a TRUE story my friend…I, Johnny Lee would NEVER make up a story like this!! I also have to add, all the policemen, security were told NOT to let ANY FANS within 15 feet of him too. I personally think he’s a complete A*SHOLE!!”

UPDATED UPDATE:

This just in…Travis Tritt denies Johnny’s accusations!

This is getting good. Honestly, the best part as far as dramatic entertainment, are all the fans fighting in the comment section:

Michelle Clark Miller Johnny Lee was the singer of a one hit wonder song from the movie Urban Cowboy… “Lookin For Love”. (In all the wrong places). Probably a bit before some of ya’lls time. Lee also has a history of substance abuse, so I wouldn’t take what he says too seriously.

It must have been “a great day too be alive” and “the sun must have been shining when he closed his eye”…or maybe it was a 3 day beard that he hadn’t shaved..if these statements are true, I’m sure he knows that this was not a good thing too do. At least I hope so, God save us.!

Remember when we saw Johnny at Hill’s Cafe? He was very gracious giving me an autograph and posing for a photo on his bus after the show. I can understand that that would be his reaction if he believed Travis Tritt acted that way. For Travis’ sake, I hope he didn’t and that it is a vicious rumor.

You need to back off Mr. Lee. He is a great guy and amazing father! He raised a good son who I had the privilege of meeting and dating…. And I will tell y’all now that no I have not had the privilege yo meet Mr lee in person but his son had told me enough for me to knowbhe wouldn’t make up lies about other people!!! For you to go after him like this is just cruel and unacceptable!!! Grow up!!! I am 21 years old and I act more mature then y’all!!!

not again

Tosha – Are you the same “girlfriend” who has repeatedly said on other blogs that you didn’t meet JL, Jr. until he was sitting in Taney county jail on a $75K bail? You consider him a “good son” when he was sitting in jail because he stole over $44K worth of items, including credit card fraud & writing hot checks by signing his fathers name? If you were truly his “girlfriend” & that serious (in such a short time), then I’m sure you would have met JL or other members of his family, if they visited him in jail at the same time you did. You yourself claimed on other blogs that you were in love with him & he was going to quit drugs for you. Wow, that promise didn’t last long, because within 5 months of his arrest he was dead.

As for Johnny Lee, Sr., yes he is a nice man who appreciates his fans. He has also had his problems & isn’t afraid to admit it or hide it like many celebrities do. The problem with today’s society, is the “fans” or people in general, act as if they actually know those they consider “celebrities”. What you see at concerts, on the movie screen or even on TV is not how they usually act in their private lives. With JL, what you see is what you get.

For the Travis Tritt fans, keep that in mind when you put him on the pedestal, that he is not the same person when he knows he is in the public eye. As for JL, whether the public likes it or not, he is honest & often blunt. But, he won’t tell you lies to protect someone’s fake persona. For those who want video evidence, did you not read the blog that nobody was allowed to take pics of him while on stage & they were not allowed within 15 feet of him, after he got off the stage? There is a reason for that & it is $$. Why let people/fans take pics of him when they will pay for an autographed one? So if nobody is allowed to take pics, how do you expect them to videotape the incident?

While living in California, when I was much younger, my sister was an actress & did a lot of stand in work for Farrah Fawcett. Due to her work, I was able to attend many functions & parties where I met actors, musicians who played for famous singers & even met singers, some before they were famous. It is not unusual for any of the above mentioned fields for them to act “normal” & be cordial because they want to give that appearance so they could become “famous”. Many who found the instant celebrity status let it go to their heads. The majority of them began spending money by buying multi-million $$ homes, expensive cars, name brand clothes so everyone would know they had “arrived.” Most became societal snobs who no longer wanted to be seen with the people who helped make them famous. They did not want to associate with anyone who didn’t have the extravagant homes & cars. Even if they didn’t like a rich person, they would still associate with them because they were either in the same financial bracket or they could help them become more famous. Then when the rich person they despised wasn’t around them, you wouldn’t believe the hateful words that came out of their mouths. That is why the phrase “Hollywood will chew you up & spit you out.” Very few entertainers, would allow the public to see the “real” person they were. Johnny Lee was one of the few who did speak his mind, no matter what others thought. I don’t know about others, but I will take an honest person over the richest snob in the world.

If you new half of the things that happened in the entertainment business, I think you would be shocked. How many are supporting the women who made accusations of sexual assault from Bill Cosby? Did you still support the women when evidence has proven that many of them lied & were paid to make the allegations? For instance, Chloe Goins claimed she was drugged while at the Playboy Mansion during the annual Midsummer Night party. Do you know why you didn’t hear that charges were filed by the LAPD, even though the SOL hadn’t expired? It’s because Cosby had proof that he wasn’t even in CA during that time. He provided hotel receipts, plane tickets, cell phone records & more to prove he was in NYC during that time. How about actress Louisa Moritz who claimed that Cosby forced her to perform oral sex in a backstage dressing room while both were getting read to be on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. How many of you took the time to check IMDb? Had you done so you would have found out that Cosby was never on the Tonight Show in 1971 at the same time as Louisa Moritz. When confronted, she claimed she was tired & her attorney was “checking into it.” The only black person who was on the Tonight Show, the same time as Moritz was Nipsey Russell on Aug. 23, 1971. How about the managers of Janice Dickinson & Beverly Johnson who have publicly admitted that both women are lying? How many of you
know that JD filed false accusations to police against 2 previous boyfriends? One of the boyfriends was sent to prison until evidence was presented that she had put make up on her body to make it appear she had been assaulted. It was her own hired Security that came forward with the truth. Have you read the letter that a Wilhelmina model has written? She stated she not only worked with both JD & BJ, but also hung around with them, because there were only a handful of famous models back them. In her letter, she also claimed that they are lying. She further stated that in the 70′s, her agent sent her to the Beverly Wilshire to meet 2 men so she could audition for a part in a movie. She described the 2 men (1 Asian & 1 Caucasian) & stated the amount of money they offered her to do an “impromptu” audition with Cosby. The catch was he was not to know about it & she was not to mention it to him. They wanted her to provide certain items to them, after the “impromptu audition” in exchange for what was a lot of $$ during that time. She excused herself to go to the bathroom & left the hotel, stating she knew that something wasn’t right. I could go on about the discrepancies with a large majority of the women & evidence that proves they are lying. The sheer volume of women who have come forward, some decades later seems to make some people automatically believe them, even though there isn’t a shred of evidence. Few of the media & even fewer of the public has taken the time to even check the allegations to see if the accusations could be verified. I hope that none of you reading this ever find yourself or a loved one in this position trying to prove someone is lying in order to set you or your loved one up to ruin their name. Ever heard the old expression that if you repeat it often enough people will believe it is true, even when there is no proof? Doesn’t anyone find it unusual that not 1 of the women would go to the hospital to see what they were drugged with or make a police report? Before you give me the same standard reply that the majority of rape victims don’t report their assaults, save it. Did you ever stop to think how implausible it sounds? As a woman who was raped decades ago, while in the military, I know what I did & this was a time long before DNA was even a concept. I reported my attack as soon as the man ran away. I reported it for a variety of reasons. First, my husband & I were trying to start a family, so I wanted to ensure I didn’t get pregnant & didn’t contract an STD.not only for myself, but to prevent the same thing from happening to another woman. I was able to see the mans last name on his flight jacket & kept repeating it over & over until I could tell it to an MP. I went through every test imaginable & answered a variety of questions that were very embarrassing. But, I knew I had to do this so he could be punished for not only what he did to me, but what he took from me.

I have been in those shoes & know how it made me feel & I never wanted another woman to go through what I did. So, why wouldn’t just 1 of the women report it immediately in order to prevent it from happening to another woman? I could understand it if not all reported it, but to learn that not 1 of the 50 women claiming assault reported any wrongdoing immediately after the alleged assaults. I am not afraid to say that I will call BS on their allegations because nothing they have said makes sense. It sounds more like a well rehearsed plan than anything else. I wonder how many of the women would be willing to take a lie detector test or a voice analysis to see if they are being deceptive?

Ok Rita, maybe you could do a little digging & write about the inconsistencies in the women’s accusations. Another blog you could write about is appalling but needs to be exposed. What I am talking about is the high society pedophiles in Hollywood & in the political arena. Maybe you could interview young actors, who are now adults who have admitted they were drugged & taken to “twink” parties where these young boys were molested (& new kids are added to replace those who are no longer young) by the high & mighty that so many people put on a pedestal. I wonder if those defending Travis Tritt would still be willing to stand up & support the celebrities, agents, managers, politicians & the top Hollywood moguls, including those who work for Disney. Or would they finally have your eyes opened about what really goes on in the entertainment business?

Don’t get all snippy with me sister.

Your beef should be with Johnny Lee, not me…now, take the autographed VHS tape of Rio Diablo you bought on Ebay, your special Fan Club only edition of the “Country Club” cassette and your sacred lock of Travis’s mullet hair and run about your business.

I find it hard to believe that this is actually true. I have no idea why he would start a rumor like that but seriously? Am I really supposed to believe that anybody, especially someone in the public eye, would yell and swear at a little kid in a wheelchair? If it’s true then its very sad, but if not, that’s a very pathetic rumor to start

Gieret Alexander

I have been a Travis Tritt fan since the beginning of his long career. I have never heard of him doing such a thing, especially to a child. I live near him & know people who know him and think the world of him. He is a father of three and I know he has given a lot of money to the children’s hospital in Atlanta, to the local police & sheriff’s departments and to the troops in Afghanistan. I don’t believe he could have gotten so far in his career for so many years if he treated anyone like this. Johnny Lee says he’ll send the kid something special. That kid doesn’t know who Johnny Lee is. He had one hit in the 80′s. Sounds like he’s maybe a bit envious of someone with real talent and a long career with millions of fans supporting him! Travis never lets his fans down at a concert. He gives 1,000 percent and Mr. Lee needs to come up with real evidence if he’s gonna start throwing around such a vicious rumor. Get a life, please!

laney lanham

This is ridiculous. Johnny Lee is a washed up has been that should keep his mouth shut about things he didnt see with his own eyes or hear with his own ears. The “blogger” who chooses to spread this crap should keep her mouth shut.

Steve

God Bless Rita Ballou. The “fans” who come to defend the honor of their threatened hero have no idea what they’re walking into. But, I find it fascinating when one side immediately attacks the other with the “he’s a loser.” Let’s say this is true – shame on Travis. He deserves every negative comment and then some lobbed his way. Let’s say it isn’t true – Do you really think an artist that has been around as long as Johnny Lee (no matter how long ago his hit was…..it wasn’t too much before Travis’ last hit anyway) would actually say such things? My guess is if it isn’t true, that someone hacked Johnny Lee’s account. But – to come on a gossip site and attack the “reporter” and then act shocked that she attacks your over-zealousness is what the rest of us are waiting for. It’s like lobbing kittens into the shark tank. It’s not really a fair fight. (Now I’ve got to go find my VHS player)

For whoever stated Johnny Lee was a one hit wonder….

Johnny Lee has just as many number one singles as Travis Tritt… they each have 5. Johnny Lee’s singles all hit number within a 4 year period ( 1980 to 1984). Travis Tritt’s singles where spread out over a 10 year period (1990 to 2000).

Either way, if Travis did as accused, he will be judged one day. If he didn’t, then Johnny will be judged for lying… the Lord knows and he will be the judge, not any of us….

Gieret Alexander

Ok when I’m wrong I apaolgize. Johnny Lee is not a one hit wonder. I hadno idea he ever a hit besides “Looking for Love”. I do think unless someonehas a video of Travis Tritt doing this that I nor any of his fans will ever believe it. If there is no concrete proof it shouldn’t have been posted.

Steve Hawkins

I played guitar for Johnny for a number of years. You were gracious to retract the “one-hit-wonder” comment. We could do a couple of hours and not play all of Johnny’s hits. Can’t comment on the Travis thing; wasn’t there. Too bad for both stars.

Amy

Comment: I just wanted to tell you that the accusations that Johnny Lee is making about Travis Tritt are false… I was there and Johnny Lee was not… I was in the front row and 10 feet away from the child.. I know this child and his family and have to say that the boy was never with in 20 feet of Travis Tritt… He was still in front of the stage when Travis left the stage to get onto his bus. That path is barricaded and no one was allowed in that area during that time…. It is this way with ALL of the artist who perform here… They did ask someone out side of the bus if they would ask Travis to come see the boy but they were told no… Never by Travis Tritt himself… I DID see all of this and have no reason to state anything other than the facts… You want an eyewitness account, you got one…It never happened… I liked Johnny Lee up to this point and have to say that I am very disappointed in how he chose to handle something that he did not witness with his own eyes… It was in fact witnessed by no one, because it did not happen. I can not emphasize enough that the boy was never close enough or had any contact with Travis Tritt. It is a crazy statement to make that no one was allowed to take pictures. I was in the very front and took many pictures that he posed for… We were never told that we could not take pictures ever. Everyone was taking them… How would you enforce such a ridiculous request anyway with a large crowd such as that? Johnny Lee made a statement stating “I do not lie” well that itself is a lie for everyone does… Perhaps he truly believes what someone told him, but this should have been handled in a more professional manner…. Bottom line is that someone who was not happy that the child did not get an autograph has greatly exaggerated the story. And when I posted that I was there and told my account on Johnny Lee’s page, my post was deleted… says a lot…. He was very kind to my own son that night and I can not imagine him ever doing any child that way….

My experience at a Johnny Lee concert… I was 29 years old and not bad looking, I tried to get his autograph and he was too busy with two young blondes in front of me! He did not care how long I stood there he was trying to pick both of them up at the same time!! Ardmore, Oklahoma 2002!! I consider him a jerk from that day on!! I would not want his autograph now!!! VERY DISAPPOINTED FAN!!
